CDROM/AJ/V112/P0491 Late-Type Stars in M31. II. (Brewer+ 1996) ================================================================================ Late-Type Stars in M31. II. C-, S-, and M-Star Spectra James P. Brewer, Harvey B. Richer, & Dennis R. Crabtree <1996, AJ, 112, 491> =1995AJ....112..491B ================================================================================ Abstract: We present spectra of AGB stars in M31 for which observations had been previously secured using a four-band photometric system (FBPS). The FBPS had been used to identify M-, S-, and carbon-star (C-star) candidates, and we use the spectra to show that the FBPS did an excellent job at identifying C- and M-stars. Of the 48 C-stars for which spectra were obtained, 7 have strongly enhanced 13C bands (J-stars), 2 have strong Halpha emission, while 3 are found to exhibit enhanced Li absorption (Li-stars). Both the J- and Li-stars are fainter than predicted by current theoretical models, while the colors of the Halpha stars suggest they may be in the terminal phases of their evolution. The C2 and CN bandstrengths of the C-stars are measured, and no correlation between these bandstrengths and either Mbol or (V-I) is found. It is suggested that this lack of correlation is due to an age spread. The spectra of the first confirmed S-star in M31 is presented, and two evolutionary pathways are suggested to account for this star's high luminosity. Description: The files with the prefix CFHT contain the M31 spectra. The table below lists the spectra which appear in each of these PostScript files. Similarly, the PostScript files with the prefix DAO contain spectra of Galactic carbon stars, whose identity is included in the table below. See the text of the printed paper for details.
